Know that all things are possible through God, and your father shall be healed. I will put your father in deep prayer, God still performsmiracles, just know and confide in him.

I am glad your friend is well iron, i will pray that he reaches his goal! Keep in mind, GOD did not bring him this far, just to let him fail now. I hope his rehabilitation is quick and comprehensive, and is back in uniform as soon as possible. GOD bless you all.

Update: Bradley is awake and in good spirits today. He actually called me at 0300 this morning and said, "Hey, are you awake?"
I said, "I am now, f*cker!"
He said, "Good, I'm starving, bring me something to eat."
I laughed, and told him that I would. So I hooked him up with his favorite late-night meal - Waffle House.
He is doing better, and seems to be ready to be released; however, the Doctor isn't going to let him go until no sooner than Friday.
Thanks for your prayers; he and I appreciate them more than you know.

Nice to hear, my friend. I am glad he is doing well. He should be in no hurry to leave before he is duly discharged. No AWOL, here! By the way, you brought him an entire house made of waffles? :bandit:

Yeah, I've known since he and I were in the 3rd grade. We got into a fight and gave each other a bloody nose and a black eye. The next day we were best friends. 
D, if you called me up from the Hospital and told me you were hungry, I would make sure you had food in your stomach within an hour.

Yes, Ike, an entire house made of waffles. Jealous?
I'm sure there are TONS of people that know what I mean about the late-night cravings of The Waffle House. Except, he wasn't drunk this time, just loopy because of the pain medicine.

Update: He continues to improve. He is no longer in the IC Unit. He requested a private room, but they put him in a double. I had my wife talk to the people she knows there and they moved him into a private room. Luckily, my wife is well known and highly respected for her job accomplishments, as well as the Volunteer work that her and I do.
Bradley didn't even remember Sunday after the accident. Him and I talked for a good 30 minutes waiting on the Emergency Crew to arrive. Seeing how we were so far out in the rocky portions of Pine Mountain, it took them a while to locate the wreck. I kept him talking and alert while making sure he didn't move his neck (held C-Spine in place and checked his grip and eye movement/response). Because of the excellent Combat Med courses that I took, I was able to do these things without thought. We talked about several things that are of extreme importance to both of us (a business him and I are in the process of working on), yet he only remembers me saying, "Hold your d*ck, I'm trying cut the harness f*cker!" And no, I didn't mean for him to actually hold it, it's a saying that I picked up from my DS a few moons ago. I am so grateful that he is doing well; I can't imagine my life without him. The whole time I was trying to learn to walk again and with my new hardware, he was always there pushing me and making sure I didn't quit. I will do the same for him, no questions asked.
He received the best news of his life today: His fiancée is pregnant! Now, they are worried about the perceptions it will give their parents (Old School mentality), but they are getting married in 35 days. She (hopefully) will be able to fit into her wedding dress with no problems in that time-frame. He told me that if it's a boy, he is going to name him after me. I don't get choked up, nor do I ever tear up, but that touched me deeply.
Anyway, thank you all for the prayers and the PM's of encouragement that many have sent. It means more to me that you can imagine. I am still sore, but I'm alive, so it is all good in my eyes.
Thanks again, you all!

You know I have your back, my friend!
I went through a period in my life where every woman I met had either emotional problems from their last relationship, or just wanted her cake, and to be able to eat it without weight-gain (). Finally, I gave up looking for a mate and started to focus just on my career, which paid off by becoming one of the youngest to ever complete a cetain class and come out the as the lead dog. Then one day I ran into this gorgeous, very well put-together, highly educated woman that I thought I had NO CHANCE with... yeah, I've been married to her for 3 years (7 years all together).
Just focus on you, Jon. I know the saying gets old, and you hate Chicken Soup, but I wouldn't lead you down the wrong path - trust me.

I wanted to take the time to tell you guys that I am really proud of how you have developed this thread. These are the pieces of "the fruit of the Spirit" that are the evidence that supports "the reason for my faith". God changes lives in and through all circumstances. "For we know all things work for good for those who love the Lord"
(quotations to emphasize these are scriptural truths)
As some of you know I have been engaged in a mens ministry. First, for my own growth and need. Now I am becoming leadership. Trusting the Lord for the courage to share my testimony in stark candor has effected men and their walk. The Lord and the ministry elders have opened doors and cleared a path for me to walk through to continue to do so in a greater capacity.
There is a Praise!!!
Now for prayer.
We are having a men's summit this weekend. I have been asked if I would lead a new study "If you want to walk on water you need to step out of the boat" and it will begin on May 11th. They will be announcing this at the summit and likely will ask for me to share. For those of you who know me you know I "share".
Prayer for the Holy Spirit to lead me.
My 19 year old son is struggling. Too many details to post.
Prayer for a hedge of protection for his mind, heart and body as I patientlty await the Holy Spirit to intercede on my and his behalf and bring him to live with his Dad so I can help him become the man God has made him to be and the father I long to be for him.
Thanks

Christ said that a man can experience no greater love than to lay down his life for his friends. You have the kind of heart it takes to feel that. God bless you till the end my brother.
Tell him congrats for us! With all the new same-sex laws infiltrating the definition of marriage now (2 more states legalized it last week I think), I can appreciate his apprehension about marriage. His folks won't be living out that marriage for him, he will, so if he does it he best do it for his own reasons! A real man makes a vow and keeps it, whether it's on paper or not. He doesn't let impressions influence his choices or faith to keep his commitments.
Even at church. If you're in a church that doesn't feel right anymore and you know it, then 'come out of her my people!' You don't wanna be there when God drops the hammer on that whore riding the beast. This is no time for compromises, so seek Truth and don't be deceived. Your friends and family might mean well, but it's imperative that you develop a keen sense of personal discernment if you're really serious about God's destiny for your life.
God bless and keep praying guys, you're all in my prayers too. That goes for you and your son B, Renegade and your family, and all the prayer partners here praying for one another and letting God know who's side we're on!

I am sub'd to this thread and it gets more hits than any other...I read through it today, skimmed actually, and realized just how troubled people are...how screwed up this world is. I guess it's comforting to know I'm not alone in my suffering...that we are all hurting in our own way, but still, it's disheartening to realize just how truly messed up life is. I guess I need prayer for my outlook towards life; as you can see, it's pretty negative right now...I'm not a happy camper.)-:

I wanted to share a blessing with you. I just returned from a weekend long conference put on by Family Life Today, a Christian ministry group. It was excellent, centered on God on focused on what we, as men, are responsible for in marriage. There were about 1500 people in attendance. It is such a comfort to know that if we look for like minded people, who want to better their lives by following God's design - we can find them. I am really happy I went.

You're not alone. Eternal hope is the only real comfort, so it helps to focus on issues of eternal significance rather than the chaos of life. It puts things in a more tolerable perspective. Otherwise, just sitting around and waiting for the inflection point seems rather pointless.
